Blog about “TEACHING, RESEARCH AND VIRTUAL PSYCHOLOGY IN SECOND LIFE.”
Found it via a post on Asperger’s social skills therapy. Adding it to Newsgator….I hope he links to some academic articles I can use for my paper. 
The blog belongs to Simon Bignell, who is a Psychology Professor at the University of Derby (in the UK). Here’s the focus of his research:
I am currently running a funded project that is evaluating teaching and research in Second Life. The research element is investigating the effectiveness of the platform to enhance the real-life social/communication skills of people diagnosed with high-functioning Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome.
HMMM maybe I can get my doctorate in the UK?
